About this Mod
🌟 Cobblemon Capture Notification
Cobblemon Capture Notification enhances your Minecraft server by turning rare Pokémon captures into exciting community events. When a player catches a special Pokémon, everyone online gets a vibrant, color-coded announcement!

🛠️ Server Admin Friendly
Quick setup with auto-generated config files and simple, clear documentation.
⚙️ How It Works
The mod hooks into Cobblemon's capture events. When a player captures a Pokémon, it checks if the Pokémon qualifies as "special." If so, it sends a server-wide message using the appropriate styling.

config/capture_notification_config.json
Use %s as placeholders for player name and Pokémon name.
